Microenvironment sensing and imaging are of importance in microscale zones like microreactors, microfluidic systems, and biological cells. But they are so far implemented only based on chemical colors from dyes or quantum dots, which suffered either from photobleaching, quenching, or photoblinking behaviors, or from limited color gamut. In contrast...

Spintronics entails the generation, transport, manipulation and detection of spin currents, usually in hybrid architectures comprising interfaces whose impact on performance is detrimental. In addition, how spins are generated and detected is generally material specific and determined by the electronic structure. Here, we demonstrate spin current g...

Angiogenesis is the hallmark of melanoma that nurtures the tumor microenvironment (TME) for rapid tumor progression. Vessel normalization could benefit melanoma treatment through TME reconstruction, while its limited duration and extent are still the drag. Herein, two kinds of look-like nanodrugs, called Gemini-like nanodrugs (GLnano), were constru...

Organic chiral materials have brought attention due to their potential application in the area of spin-optics and optoelectronics. Compared with traditional achiral materials, the chirality generated orbital angular momentum (CGO) is one of the key properties for chiral materials. Here, organic nanocrystals with chirality are fabricated to study th...

A molecularly thin electrolyte is developed to demonstrate a nonvolatile, solid-state, one-transistor (1T) memory based on an electric-double-layer (EDL) gated WSe2 field-effect transistor (FET). The custom-designed monolayer electrolyte consists of cobalt crown ether phthalocyanine and lithium ions, which are positioned by field-effect at either t...

Contact guidance can promote cell alignment and is thus widely employed in tissue regeneration. In particular, skeletal muscle consists of long fibrous bundles of multinucleated myotubes formed by the fusion and differentiation of the satellite cells of myoblasts. Herein, a functional bioink and cell-printing process supplemented with an electric f...

Electron transport in biological and inorganic systems is mediated through distinct mechanisms and pathways. Their fundamental mismatch in structural and thermodynamic properties has imposed a significant challenge on the effective coupling at the biotic/abiotic interface, which is central to the design and development of bioelectronic devices and ...

A chemical short-range order is found in single monolayer InAs1-xSbx shells, which inherit a wurtzite structure from the underlying InAs nanowire, instead of crystallizing in the energetically preferred zincblende structure. The chemical order is characterized by an anticorrelation ordering vector in the ⟨112̅0⟩ direction and arises from strong Sb-...

Anisotropic hydrogels with a hierarchical structure can mimic biological tissues, such as neurons or muscles that show directional functions, which are important factors for signal transduction and cell guidance. Here, we report a mussel-inspired approach to fabricate an anisotropic hydrogel based on a conductive ferrofluid. First, polydopamine (PD...
